If I were an arbitrator or judge, I would be asking "how long would a reasonable consumer who purchased the game expect it to be playable" then order pro-rated refunds. Absent any reason to think otherwise, "how long" would probably be the supported life of the hardware it was designed to run on if it's tied to a particular device (serial #) or type of device (make/model), which is rarely more than 10 years these days, considerably less for some types/genres of software-as-a-service (which is what this game is).

Decades ago, there was an Italian music star named Adriano Celentano that came out with a song called "Prisencolinensinainciusol". The lyrics were nonsense. He wanted to make a song that showed how English sounded to the Italian ear. It was his biggest hit.

Sounds reasonable to me. If some state agency or state court says forcing providers to lower rates is against state law, the court should rule that providers in that state are ineligible for the aid until the state law is changed.

That would put all providers in that state on the same playing field: None would get the aid, but none would be forced to lower rates.

Yes

Yeah, it sounds like they're intentionally driving away anyone but paying customers at this point.

The case revolves around subscribers who received repeated notices but they allegedly never stopped their infringements and cox never disconnected them. This was a problem because the DMCA has language about repeat infringement, strikes, and removal/disconnection but doesn't specify what qualifies as infringement or how many strikes is too many.

The jury seemed to decide that accusations qualify as infringement, and whatever number of strikes was considered "reasonable" was largely ignored since cox allegedly didn't ever disconnect anyone and maybe wasn't even tallying how many "strikes" individual subscribers received.

To my understanding cox was following the law regarding passing on strikes/warnings to subscribers, but as the alleged infringement was temporal in nature there's nothing to takedown. It does seem that the courts just passed interpreting the extremely poorly written law onto a jury which might be the only group of people less qualified than the congresscritters who wrote it.

"Where do you back up 189 square kilometers of real estate?" - my first thought before I read the actual summary.

They're using more or less PC hardware, but the APIs are more aggressive in targeting the exact features of said hardware. That creates a problem when the same game is released on a newer platform which doesn't have those specific GPU features.

Roku needs to add Keyboard support before they try adding Ads.

There is no reason to not support a keyboard for entering search

Remember Munich, with much fanfare, adopted Linux in 2003 only to abandon it for Windows 10:

In addition to politics and cost, the issue of having to work in a Microsoft-centric world are likely to kill this.

In Soviet Russia, Potato peels YOU!

VLANS also work. All we need are layer 3 switches in the neighborhoods.

I have a 100% fix for the last mile problem.

Local Utility Company, that owns and maintains fiber.

All fiber brought back to a COLO facility where Vendors offer their services to the local utility customers, directly AT the COLO facility. Choice to the Consumer. The COLO and Fiber are maintained with fees extracted as part of the rental agreement between the vendors and the local Utility CO.

A consumer purchases service from the vendor(s) of their choice directly, based on their desires and needs. No Government needs to be involved. Increase Options creates competition.

Its a wonder smart people haven't figured out that Government Franchise Agreements has stagnated the status quo into doing nothing.

ROFL

Exactly
